Ghost Busted
October 18, 2011 This is it! We're close to proving bakery hauntings, I can feel it!
Scoff all you like, but I was present at an undersea, unexplained mass sponge migration.
Not to mention they were wearing PANTS.
Look! Actual ectoplasmic residue! This is great!
;)
"He slimed me."
Oh buck up, Frosty, you'll be fine.
Talk about telekinetic activity - look at this mess!
;)
It's like the Salem mass Silly String turbulence of 1947. DEFINITELY supernatural origin.
You know, I collect spores, mold, and fungus...
;)
...but that is just NASTY.
Listen! You smell something?
;)
"There is no 'wee wee,' only stool."
Hm. You'd better get a sample.
What, you question my methods?
Back off, man; I'm a SCIENTIST.
;)
That's better.
Oh, and whatever you do, don't cross the streams. That would be bad.
I can see you're still not convinced on this bakery ghost thing.
Then answer me this: would any human being stack cakes this way?
;)
I rest my case.
Thanks to Anna S., Matthew Z., Alyssa P., Dylan W., Lindsey D., Cynthia C., & Anna A., who are pretty sure that sample cup means "you're in trouble."

Best Post EVER!!!!!
AWESOME post -- all my favorite lines from Ghostbusters AND nasty cakes! Perfect Day!
"There is no 'wee wee,' only stool."
Totally lost it. Now my coworkers think I'm nuts. Worth it.
Oh, if only there were a Twinkie wreck so that we could've said "That's a big Twinkie!"
Actually, the "spores, mold, and fungus" cake is sort of cool. If only the main frosting color hadn't been melted-Hershey-bar brown ...
I agree with Inaya; if the urine cupcake is what the customer asked for, it should be a Sunday Sweet, not a wreck. That cup is incredibly convincing. Maybe it was a transcription error: "I'd like a 'You're In!' cupcake. My child was just accepted to a prestigious pre-school!"
In his defense, the baker's uncle thought he was St. Jerome. So someone in his family has been diagnosed schizophrenic, or at least mentally incompetent.
When I saw number four, I immediately thought of the egg of the Dogfish shark, often referred to as 'mermaid's purses'. (Don't let the name fool you--they are as creepy looking as the cake)
Phooey!!! AnnaB stole my NPR thunder!!! :-( I'll get over it, I suppose, but in the meantime it IS a nifty little write up! Good job Jen!!!!!
You've outdone yourself today! I can't stop laughing. Also, I really want to talk to whoever made the "mold, ,spores and fungus" cake and ask them WHAT WERE YOU THINKING? I mean, obviously we all want to ask that of every cake-wrecker represented on this site. But with this cake--I can't help thinking that it _means something_. (cue theremin)
Jen, I don't remember when I first stumbled across your blog, but it must have been around the release of the 1st book. I just want to thank you for my daily dose of chuckles, guffaws, and snickers. As well as endless references to many movie favorites that just seem to go perfectly with the endless supply of wrecks. You. Rock.
Am I the only one who thought of Bonnie in Toy Story 3 playing with her toys at the haunted bakery at the end of the movie? lol

The bakery ghost is defiantly someone's grandma...why else would there be a doily on top of that cake?
She must be searching for her crochet hook because that doily looks like paper from here.
Urinal cupcakes. Good one. (toddles off to put lemon jello back in fridge)
"OMIGODOMIGODOMIGOD!!! DUUUUDE!!! DID YOU SEE THAT ECTOPLASM ON FROSTY?????"
Are folks now asking for horrors hoping that they will make it on CakeWrecks -- that cup of urine is beyond anything normal
I ain't afraid of no ghosts, but I am araid of these cakes. Yikes!
Good luck tonight. I wish I could be there.
"There is no wee-wee, only stool"...ahhh, that killed me! Jen you are fantastic!
For about 10 seconds, I thought that the lid of the urine cup was a gigantic pill. *gags*
Ouch!! That third cake hurts my eyes!! The rest just make me want to rip my eyeballs out!!
OMG!!! Is that embryonic fluid leaking out of those dinosaur eggs on the 4th cake?! And that last cake is just terrible! And I don't know what is worse the paper doily that will melt into the icing or the Chiclet shaped decorations that are plastered onto that cake.
What the **** could they have possibly been thinking with that urine cupcake??????
I mistakenly thought the recycle symbol on the plastic cover of the snowman cake was an animal footprint on the cake itself. And then my brain tried to wrap around WHY there was a footprint in the icing.
As for the urine sample cupcake, I'm not handling that without gloves, much less eating it. Universal precautions, anyone? Whatever happened to just plain sprinkles?
I gagged three times during this post. I believe that's a new record!
Well I thought I had seen it all until that urine sample cup on a cupcake no less. EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKK. Ok got that out of my system lol. Dare I ask what could those nasty egg/sporish things be hatching on that cake? Some evil wreckerators evil henchmen probably.
Enlarged , the nasty cake appears to have a ring of hatching snake eggs, not balloons. Somebody forgot the anaconda in the middle?
you won my heart forever with this post (not that you didn't have it already!)
"Best use of 'Ghostbusters' quotes in a cake blog... EVAR!!!!!"
Scientist? You're more like a game show host.
hehehe
Urine and cupcake never ever go together. Ever.
Thanks to all your previous Ghostbusters posts, I was convinced to watch the movie recently...SO THIS MADE MY DAY. (Still recovering from post-ghost shock.)
*tries to make Ghosbusters reference*
*reads all other comments*
Dang, between the post and the comments, I think we covered most of the most memorable lines...hmm...
Who's your favorite Ghostbuster? Mine would probably have to be Egon Spangler. :)
the first one looked like a bunch of sponge bob cheerleaders
the urine cake is disgusting.
Of course, the idea that "There is no wee-wee, only stool" coming out of that cake in a demonic voice is way toooooo terrifying.
Right up there with human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria!
I totally thought that cake #4 was meant for a rock hound and thought the river rocks were kinda pretty, until I noticed the parasites trying to invade them. That casts a whole new light. Balloons, huh? Still don't see it. I liked the Stonehenge reference. In any case, it's pretty darn disturbing.
Hi everyone! I'm the submitter of cakewreck #4. I just wanted to tell you all that it was a whipped cream frosting cake, not the typical shortening frosting on most supermarket cakes, and that it was as chocolatey and wonderful as it was bewildering.
